Default Can Excel "extract" ranges of numbers listed in the A column?

Hi, I have a LOOOONNNG list of 5-digit numbers in a spreadsheet. They are all
listed in the A column. We only need to report the unknown ranges for this
numbers, not the actual numbers. How can I do that?

Doing this manually after sorting the data is taking us forever.

Here's an example, I cut and paste a super-small portion of the sorted data
he

41222
41223
41224
41225
41226
41227
41762
41763
41764
41765
41766
41767
41768
41769
41770
41771
41772
41773
41774
41775
41776
41777
42302
42303
42304
42305
42306
42307
42308
42309
42310
42311
42312
42313
42314
42315
42316
42830
42831
42832
42833
42834
42835
42836
42837
42838
42839
42842
42843
42844
42845
42846
42847
42848

And this is what we need:

Range 1: 41222-41227
Range 2: 41762-41777
Range 3: 42302-42316
Range 4: 42830-42848
etc...

Any suggestions?
